Architecture, shown in full.

Every write-up, same shape

The constraint and what it costs. The architecture we would choose instead, and the two or three alternatives we would rule out, named, with the reason they lose. Then the trade the decision makes, because every architecture is a trade and the ones that claim otherwise are hiding it.

Four are published here, across four industries: financial trading, healthcare, logistics and enterprise identity. They are written the way we write an architecture brief on a real engagement, which is the point. This is the document you would receive after discovery, in the format you would receive it.

When client work replaces them, the standard is the same one we would want applied to us. A name only with written permission, otherwise the industry and the date. Figures only where the client has confirmed them. Nothing that reads as a measured result unless somebody measured it.
